[QUOTE="Bez__, post: 1155781, member: 22126"] I admit I did not read the link However I must tell you that the Albuqurque VA hospital did me some mighty fine work when I was admitted there last year. They billed my government and we paid up - but the care and the service was astounding - right from being admitted - carried in and plunked down in a wheel chair by my fellow US pilots to being assisted out the door by a Korean War vet volunteer about 48 hours later. Awesome folks and I could only wish Canuck hospitals were as good. You guys have it far better than you know - up here people actually do die waiting for operations - sometimes up to more than one or two years. Elective surguries? Like a knee replacement - depending upon where you live can easily go beyond a year waiting time. Eight to twelve hours (and more in some areas) waiting in an emergency room for any non-life threatening injury is the norm. Even an MRI in this location can take up to six months to get - and you can be bumped in a heart beat - I paid the cash and went south of the border for mine. That "free" health care up here is not all it is cracked up to be - yours is still far better in my opinion. Best to all Bez__ [/QUOTE]
